dpd project [VERSION 2!] [Full List of Discs] [FAQ] [Find A Song or Band] [Message Board]      

Welcome to DPD!


The DPD Project is a thematic mix-CD project created by music geeks and best friends Chris Diamond, Chris Prokop, and Michael Darpino.

Each CD in the project has a theme that ties the songs on it together. For every theme we each pick five songs that we feel best represent it. The collected fifteen songs are then mixed together in alternating order based on our last names. The songs that end up on DPD are meant to be the very best songs for their particular theme.

We write liner notes for each song to explain why we picked it for that theme. The project has grown into a sort of musical memoir over the years since music has been and still is such a huge part of our lives.

Random DPD Pick:


We Suck Young Blood (Your Time Is Up.)
by: Radiohead
from: Hail To The Thief

Picked By: darpino
For: DPD: 082 - Instrument: Keyboards-Piano-Organs

At every Radiohead show, whenever they bring Thom Yorke's piano out onto the stage you know it is about to be a magical moment. He seems to really love the instrument and watching him play it live is a special treat to fans. He seems to be most comfortable and most vulnerable when he is sitting behind his piano. That's a very odd dichotomy but what else would be suitable for this very odd fellow?

This is one of those Readiohead songs that just make me feel bad inside. But then that's why I love it. This song is a piano dirge of the first order. Of all the recorded Radiohead material, I think it represents Thom Yorke's live concert piano-playing dichotomy the best.
